Little Big Shots had an even bigger wow moment in its second episode, posting a huge 2.8 rating for the Sunday premiere. It nearly matched the 2.9 it got in the post-The Voice preview on Tuesday (and may be close to matching it after finals with a 2.6 -> 3.1 breakdown). It also had about two million more total viewers (14.8 million total) than in that preview. This now looks like a major game-changer for NBC's spring fortunes.

This helped vault The Carmichael Show to a new series high 1.5 at 9:00 (even if it was barely over 50% retention). And it then plummeted to 1.1 for the second original at 9:30. It did not much help Hollywood Game Night (0.9), which was on the low end as it moved to the Sunday 10:00 hour.

On ABC, the network got some minor relief as Once Upon a Time (1.3), The Family (0.8) and Quantico (1.1) were all able to hold last week's spring premiere numbers, while America's Funniest Home Videos (1.1) returned to improve the 7:00 hour.

Steadiness was also the word on Fox, with roughly steady showings from Bordertown (0.8), Bob's Burgers (1.0), The Simpsons (1.3), Cooper Barrett's Guide (0.8), Family Guy (1.4) and The Last Man on Earth (1.1). Bordertown looks to have gotten some help from a NASCAR lead-in again?

CBS had a rather irregular lineup with the tail end of the NCAA basketball Selection Show (1.4), 60 Minutes (1.2/1.1) and a 90-minute Scorpion repeat (0.7/0.7/0.8) leading into the season/series finale of CSI: Cyber (1.0).
